I feel remiss that I am just now getting around to posting this. My kids are awesome & I really intended to post this Sunday night... but then the wine kicked in & I fell asleep. Then the last two days have been crazy busy...

Late last week, I pointed this recipe out to the kids & told them that I wanted them to make that for Mother's Day. I didn't think they would really do it, but...THEY DID!!!

Here's the HOMEMADE crust they made...

I didn't really take too much time reading the recipe when I suggested it, but it called for the crust to be mixed in a food processor. (Ooops! I've been meaning to buy one of those.) But they figured it out on their own. The crust was all done by the time I made my way out to the kitchen.

Here are my kids cooking in my kitchen. Look at them!!! (not the messy, cluttered kitchen) Aren't they beautiful?! (look away from the kitchen!) Honestly, neither Michael nor I helped at all.(Actually, Ben didn't help much either, but he did crack a few eggs as a photo op).

But looky-looky! The quiche was BEAUTIFUL...

And delicious!

The kids also made dinner, but I forgot to take pictures of that. Oh wait! Maybe I was napping when that was going on. Or playing a game on the internet. Whatev! I wasn't cooking, or cleaning. Nor was I emptying the litter box.... Michael had already done that. ALLELUIA!

Oh and my son started the day looking like this.

and thanks to Jordan taking him to the hairdresser, he ended the day looking like this...

I think he looks good either way, but his sisters were pretty insistent that he get a haircut. :)

Next Sunday we are hosting a cookout here to honor our moms. They don't need to share Mother's Day with everyone else's mothers. We are giving them their own day (that they have to share with each other). I'm really looking forward to it... but unfortunately, this house isn't going to declutter itself before then...
